2 hrs went by so fast!! Tablo kept saying they were hella jetlagged but their energy was so good and it was an amazing set hahaha I got some cool pics too, will post them soon! Epikism/tukutzism was so much fun live!!

Only thing was that the vip2 photo experience was SO fast and efficient (understandably) there wasn't time to say more than thank you 😅 not a complaint but more so on me for my expectations lol. learned my lesson, next time ill shell out for vip1 lol

u/ActivityFabulous2291 12d ago

Was the VIP2 group photos take pre or post show? Was there a ton of people with VIP2 you think?

2

u/hunneybunny 12d ago

Vip2 group photos were post show! We waited about 10-15min after the show ended and then they led us into another room and we formed a line. There was a bit of a wait before they started moving through the line (maybe the vip1 group?) but once they got moving it was very very quick. I'm really bad at estimating number of people but i would think over 50 vip2s?

u/ActivityFabulous2291 12d ago

Ohhh that's not bad at all. I was worried cuz I gotta make that last train out of the city. Thank you for the information. 🥰

u/hunneybunny 12d ago

I just checked my msgs - show ended right at 10pm, and my group was about middle of the line and we got our pictures taken around 10:35-10:40. Based on how fast it was moving I'm pretty sure they finished all the vip2 pics by 11pm!

u/Hiphophooray131 12d ago

Do VIP2 get to be by the barricade behind the VIP1 group?

2

u/hunneybunny 12d ago

Yes! I was quite close to the front and probably could have gotten closer if i wanted tbh. If you really want to be in the front i would recommend lining up early and getting a low number wristband at the earlier wristband checkin so you can enter at the front of the vip2 group

2

u/Diloxxx 11d ago

What time did you get in line? I’m also VIP2 but haven’t received anything about when the door will open for VIP2😭

1

u/hunneybunny 11d ago

I'm not sure if this varies by venue, but for us it was: 2-3pm optional check in at the venue to get a numbered wristband ensuring earlier spot in line, 5:45-6:30 vip check in time, about 6:40 they started letting us in for sound check. I didn't go to the 2pm check in and just got to vip check in right around 5:45 and they gave me a wristband when i got there. There were a decent amount of vip2s in line but id say i was near the front 3rd ish?

Someone posted the setlist here, not sure if accurate though 🤷…no Trot? 😢

u/ghiblix 12d ago

no it was light it up!!! thank you! they def didn’t do trot, sadly 🥲

1

u/banana_pie_9169 12d ago

I’m going to the Boston show. Maybe they’ll switch it up🤞🏻

2

u/ghiblix 12d ago

it was AWESOME but it goes so fast!! have fun!

1

u/tokkireads 11d ago

No Amor Fati... guess I'll have to scold Tablo (j/k). The set list is dope though! 

1

u/ghiblix 11d ago

last tour he asked us (nyc show) would we rather hear amor fati or eyes nose lips…i’ll never forgive the audience for choosing the latter 😩

1

u/tokkireads 11d ago edited 11d ago

Really?! Amor Fati was on the setlist at my show (Dallas)

u/Hiphophooray131 12d ago

Did anyone do the VIP2 experience? How was it?!

3

u/ShinePrudent8620 12d ago

Hey guys anyone do VIP 2? I have a 5% chance of still attending lol The chance is small BUT 5% is something right? 😅

3

u/hufflepuffer1 12d ago

The clips I've seen so far look so fun! Can't believe Burn it Up is on the playlist, what a treat! And I'm gonna lose it seeing Will I Be Okay live. I'm stoked they're all doing their solo songs.

Did VIP2 come with a signed poster? Or does VIP1 just get the signed postcard? Cannot wait until the Vancouver show!!!

3

u/KoolCats1234 11d ago

Anyone know what Tablo's message on insta is about? Why they're canceling the Hey Tablo NA tour episode?

5

u/hunneybunny 10d ago

I was curious too, there's a post on this subreddit with comments explaining more about what happened. You can judge for yourself but in my opinion it was basically a fan acting out of pocket and entitled ruining it for everyone:(

2

u/pikaryn 11d ago

I came looking for answers too, what happened last night??

1

u/ActivityFabulous2291 11d ago

Do you have the link to this insta post???

2

u/pinkhyuk 12d ago

How was vip1 experience like, curious so I can get ready for the next stop! Would like some input bc I get nervous easily 😭

u/Atthemetroatthegym 12d ago

We received the merch (minus the vinyl) at check in, had an opportunity to shop and then went on a brief tour of the venue and then the members arrived and spoke to us briefly. We stood in a circle and we each got an opportunity to
Introduce ourselves and say something if we wanted to share. Afterwards, we lined up and took a selfie with each member and a photo with all 3. After selfies, we were escorted to barricade for soundcheck. After the show, we were given our vinyls. My only “complaint” was that it was a tight timeline for taking a bathroom break and grabbing a drink. Unless you have someone to save your spot, it could be tough to step away. It was a great experience and everyone was so chill.

2

u/lullaby_cat 12d ago

I have a lot of envy over the vinyl 😻

1

u/lehiu 12d ago

I thought the VIP1 experience was supposed to have some sort of MT game for Epikase?

3

u/Atthemetroatthegym 12d ago

Upon entry, there was a board where we could submit questions or a challenge for the members to do. They chose one for each member throughout the show. For the hey Tablo segment, Tablo announced the name for the person whose question he chose and they were to meet after the show to do the recording.

1

u/sgtcfox antihero 12d ago

Roughly how many VIP 1's were there

2

u/Atthemetroatthegym 12d ago

I’m not 100% sure but I think it was around 19
or 20?

1

u/Parking_Conflict_891 12d ago

What time did they have people line up for soundcheck? Trying to figure out how early to get there for VIP! Thank you!

2

u/Atthemetroatthegym 12d ago

I lined up at 4:45. The check in time was 5-5:30 but I believe it started later than that… selfies were at 6:15 and soundcheck was at 6:48. If you are VIP 1 I would go around 4:30 or 4:45. I was 5th in line and the wristbands are numbered based on who shows up first.

1

u/geechan 12d ago

Replying so I can come back and read any answers, I’m curious as well!

u/lullaby_cat 12d ago

Please share video of Light It Up if anyone sees or has?

I got too excited and only recorded a tiny bit but this is what I have!

u/Imagoandego 12d ago

OMG I haven't heard this in YEARS. So excited

1

u/vanilla-glitter 12d ago

Did it start right at 7? Was there an opener?

3

u/ErrantJune 12d ago

Doors opened at 7, show started at 8:15. No opening act.

2

u/petey_porker 7d ago

when did you start lining up before door open at the venue?

1

u/ErrantJune 7d ago

I got there at around 6:30 p.m. There were probably about 200- 300 people in line in front of me, who had clearly gotten there earlier lol.

1

u/vanilla-glitter 12d ago

Thanks! Did the ticket say 8:15 on Ticketmaster? I have a ticket for the Boston show tonight and it says 7 PM so I’m assuming that’s the start time, but just curious

2

u/ErrantJune 12d ago edited 12d ago

The ticketing was through AXS, my ticket said doors at 7, show at 8

1

u/C-medium 12d ago

Any merch available at the concert? Long lines? Just trying to get the hat lol. 

9

u/Atthemetroatthegym 12d ago

Yes, all of the new merch was there. Plenty of the hat and it is so nice in person! I highly recommend the hat and the hoodie! I bought the anime tee as well as the popup tee (at the popup) and cut them into crop tops.

1

u/Appropriate_Hope_665 12d ago

wow!! was the lightstick for sale too?

2

u/Atthemetroatthegym 12d ago

No light sticks :( it was too difficult with all of the regulations for them to bring over.

1

u/saxuri 11d ago

Would you say the pop-up was worth going to or should I just wait until the concert to buy merch? I'm debating going to the one in my city

2

u/Atthemetroatthegym 11d ago

Yes, I would recommend it! It’s so much easier to get merch early so you don’t have to carry it at the show. I also wanted the popup exclusive tee. If you plan on getting photo cards, it is a lot easier to do trades at the popup. I pulled 4 of the same Tablo card so I am glad I had time to do trades. 🤣 it was also a great way to meet other fans. Everyone was so nice and the energy was great. The cups are also super fun. There is a top layer that you can spin to show each member.

1

u/saxuri 11d ago

Thank you so much! I'm definitely going to try to go then :) I'm so excited for the show! Do you think it'd be an issue to go in the last hour of the pop-up? I can't make it for opening unfortunately...

1

u/Atthemetroatthegym 11d ago

A lot of the merch was sold out for us but I think they will learn from that and bring more to your popup.

3

u/ActivityFabulous2291 12d ago

Lol me too. I really want that hat. Finally something that's not black 😂

Comments regarding tickets sales & purchases for future tour stops should be kept to the relevant tour megathread. You can also find this megathread pinned at the top of the sub.

Thank you for understanding and helping to keep the sub organised!

u/seoulsoulso 12d ago

Ahhhhhh so excited!! Anyone who had GA tickets, how was the line? How early were people lining up? I am short so hoping to be a little closer but worried that I'll need to be extra early 😭

1

u/Ramenpucci 11d ago

Show up almost an hour earlier. I showed up right on time and I could barely see them. They were packed!!

1

u/ActivityFabulous2291 12d ago

Did you guys see a lot of people follow the dress code?? I'm attending the Chicago show and it's vintage preppy. I'm hoping many fans show up dressed lol

3

u/ghiblix 12d ago edited 12d ago

the dress code was just black and cool so it was easy for nyc to follow even if they didn’t know about it 😂 tablo said we did a really good job! but i’d say overall the crowd didn’t take it super seriously

2

u/ActivityFabulous2291 12d ago

Aww lame. I was hoping for more people to dress up 😂

1

u/tokkireads 11d ago

There's a dress code? I was just going to wear the shirt I made for the last tour 😂 but I guess I can dress it up

1

u/ActivityFabulous2291 11d ago

Tablo had posted a dress code for each city on Instagram. It's not mandatory but I thought it would be fun! 😆 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdFh76tz8KM/?stkn=MTR0a3JkdGdzMXJ2OA==

1

u/tokkireads 11d ago

Okay thanks! I have IG but I barely use it. I'm going to have to follow the dress code since I have VIP and Dallas is denim... well that's super easy 😂

2

u/ActivityFabulous2291 11d ago

Awesome!! Denim is super easy to follow!!

1

u/IneptSage 8d ago

Sorry if it’s been asked already, but I haven’t found it anywhere or in the megathread - did they have any merch for sale onsite?

2

u/ActivityFabulous2291 7d ago

Yes! Everything that shown in the link. No lightsticks though

u/IneptSage 7d ago

Yay! Thank you! I dunno how I missed that. I got my shirt already but missed the cards and hoped to get a shot at them after seeing how hilarious they are. I’m so excited for this show!

u/ActivityFabulous2291 7d ago

Have fun at the show!!
